The tab for the care and feeding of the UK ruling class is in. According to this news report.

"British Prime Minister Tony Blair has spent more than $13,000 of taxpayers' money on make-up and make-up artists over the past six years, it has emerged"

So then is Blair a hip metrosexual politician or foppish girly-man? Venture an opinion Londoners, it's your money he's spending! Cool Britannia, baby! I'd have expected this from the royal family but not from the major domo of the (New) Labour Party, eh?
